Neutral Layers

There’s something undeniably inviting about a neutral palette. Its classic combination creates an easy and relaxed scheme without compromising on style. It also plays a staring role when it comes to complementing bursts of inspired colour, and boasts a timeless quality that’s beautiful and sophisticated without being overbearing. So this winter we’re exploring the chic shades to prove neutral is never boring when you play with textures.

You’re in love with that Moroccan look. The decor trend that’s versatile and timeless always catches your eye with its distinct patterns and cosy colourway. But how do you translate this into your already existing decor? We’ve got the top tips for infusing that Marrakech magic into your home with a fresh twist.

CALM WITH CONTEMPORARY COLOURS

A traditional Moroccan colour palette is joyful. It plays with energetic shades that aren’t afraid to clash, and embraces intuitive choices inspired by its desert surroundings. When working with these traditional schemes that often include red, gold, orange, and pink, consider softening the look to suit your space with neutral shades such as cream, white, grey, and tan.

PLAY WITH PATTERNS

Introduce moods of Morocco with tile motifs and mesmerising geometrics. Styling with easy and affordable accessories such as patterned cushions and embossed silver tableware makes for an instant refresh minus any major overhaul. Tie your scheme together with a trellis or cross-hatch patterned rug that’s functional and fashionable in contemporary shades to suit your modern home.

LAYER WITH THE LOOK

Layering tactile textures and mood lighting are a staple when it comes to cosy Moroccan havens, and it’s easy to add this element without sacrificing your fresh foundation. Lanterns with cut outs that reflect a warm glow around the home, textural throws with raised embroidery, and scattered ottomans with traditional patterns are fuss-free and versatile solutions that can evolve with your home’s look over time.
